Yes, secret passage that drops down to sub basement C. The goblins keep an eye on things but generally are amenable as long as you don't mention Steely Dan.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS LAST POINT ENOUGH

*AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS, NEWMAN ENTERS SINGING:*

In the corner of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
(They saw your face)

Your early presence interrupted @Mather who is preparing for your visit.

Unpleased by your early arrival @Mather slowly increases the volume on Q Lazarus - “Goodbye Horses” on his new Klipsich Fortè Heritage Loudspeakers, grabs his night vision goggles, and kills the lights.

It is. And so small too for an R2R DAC with I2S, which is a big deal with my limited rack space. Plus the reviews of it have been fantastic so far. Its bigger brother was on my long term DAC shortlist but from everything I’ve read and seen this new little one is the bargain in their stable!

Between you and @Mather, the world economic slowdown is being lessened. Thanks! You must be properly chuffed, @Joe Mac, or is that a British term that you might not use? ;)

Hahaha! Yes it absolutely is but having lived in England for the first 24 years of my life I’ll allow it! But yes I really am very excited. Once my long delayed phono is in situ I’ll be a turntable, which is not happening any time soon, Super Lintons and an Apple Music capable streamer away from something very nice that I’ll be very happy with for a very long time.

Soooo I did some stuff!

A local had a virtually brand new ex demoPS Audio BHK preamp for sale at €3,600. It sells for €7,500 here. They offered me €800 for my GCD so €2,800. Couldn’t turn it down. Going into the store tomorrow morning!

Sláinte! Congrats on the new toys, and I’d love to hear your impressions of the BHK vs the GCD when you’re ready.

Thank you both.

I am “working from home” tomorrow. That work may be driving to the hifi store for 10am, coming home and setting it up and listening to tunes whilst keeping a vague eye on my emails…

I really can’t wait to hear the BHK, I’ve heard such great things about that preamp down the years. I now have a final total of 15 tubes in my system…
 
They ran into some supply chain issues that delayed delivery for a couple months, but the Fosi P4 finally arrived. If you're looking for inexpensive but decent separates, this with the monoblocks is great a combo. Only complaint is that the remote kicks the volume too far in either direction for my listening tastes, so I have to get up to adjust if I'm dialing it in for comfort.

I feel your remote pain. The BHK I just got has the same issue the Gain Cell did. LG ignore remote protocols so when I try to change volume or inputs on the PS Audio remote as well as doing that to also turns on my tv and picks the most random apps or sub menus! So I just stand up instead lol!
